Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon left red-faced as she offends Christine Lampard live on-air

Stacey Solomon was left red-faced on Thursday's Loose Women after offending Christine Lampard.

The Loose Ladies - who are social distancing in the studio - were chatting about whether face masks should be a fashion statement amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Christine, 41, picked up her own plain white mask and modelled it for fellow host's Stacey, Jane Moore and Janet Street-Porter who was tuning in via video chat.

Stacey, 30, told the Northern Irish beauty that she has a "face for a mask" before gasping upon realising what she said.

Christine shared that she agreed and that she did not mind how she appeared with a piece of PPE over her nose and mouth but Stacey then continued to dig a hole as she yapped on.

Stacey then added: "Masks don't suit me because I have a big head, but it looks good on you."

Christine then realised that Stacey was saying she had a big head and started to laugh.

Bubbly Stacey then admitted: "I am digging myself a hole!"

Proving Christine saw the funny side she laughed and told Stacey not to worry.

A week ago Loose Women returned to the air but viewers had some strong opinions about the presenters going back to the studio.

Since the lockdown began, the show was running on a reduced schedule and was showing repeats rather than filming new shows.

But since last week, three or four presenters at a time are back in the studio while one often joins by video call.

Despite the hosts socially distancing two metres apart, this did not stop a Twitter uproar from those questioning whether it was essential they leave their homes.

One viewer wrote: "Why are you back to work Loosewomen ???? Hipocrites #LooseWomen".

"How is #LooseWomen an essential programme.. With 3 presenters," questioned another.

A third raged: "#LooseWomen Dont understand why any of them need to be in a studio..... also dont understand why this programme is still on despite of the pandemic".

"Not being a d**k but are we calling  @loosewomen  essential work?! I’m confused... why is this show back on?  #coronamoaner  " added a fourth.

But another user defended them, citing the fact that public service broadcasters and journalists are considered workers.

"You could argue that people that are still working as 'key workers' if their jobs are essential, such as construction workers, they have to go through turnstiles," they wrote.

"Journalists classed a key workers which loose women are under the category of, warehouse staff for online stores."

* Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV
